How about condolences and leave it at that and let the professionals investigate.
How about not.

Every single time an accident happens there's always some 'kin idgit screaming "Leave it to the NTSB/FAA/The Beaver!" knowing full well there will be a hundred pages of discussion and even speculation, because THAT'S WHAT PILOTS DO! Along with just about every other profession that has it's dangerous moments. Ship's crews do the same thing when there is a mishap. That's how we learn. In fact, this recent accident has driven home something I have been trained to do before any departure or arrival, and that is set the HSI to the landing/departing runway and the heading bug to the assigned/initial vector, even in severe clear daylight flying.

I used to question why ... now I know why. We discuss ... we learn. If you don't want to hear speculation after a crash you need to stay off the internet, chief.
